wow if Life loses we're gonna have a non-Kespa finals. Well maybe MMA and Taeja are just a different level. Startale isn't on Kespa, or did I miss something? No, not yet. And even if they were, Life is certainly no elephant.
Life is a mammoth, he'll crush everyone

Gimmie a K! it's a silly debate since most of the sc2 pros who aren't really young played BW for Kespa at some point. debating whether the players who switched in 2010 or 2012 are better became a sport though.
The argument was always that the 2010 switchers were all the B teamers who couldn't cut it in BW, so they went for easy money against easy opponents.
Which is technically true, but the argument was also that the players that stayed in BW were genetically better, or something.

This post should be referred to whenever someone asks a question about this topic. The proof is in all the old LR threads(mostly gsl code a in late 2012/early/mid 2013)
I'd make it my signature if I could.

Yeah but the point was that those older sc2 pros who played BW for Kespa at some point weren't really anything special, or even were considered overall failures, and the logic of the BW elitists were that if a good SC2 player was mediocre/bad in BW, then the good BW players would absolutely dominate when they switched.

Day9 yet again for a TaeJa match? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy......... because this match requires hype, fuck analysis. it's the 2 awesome players in a cool matchup. who cares why they do what they do? we want screamers.
But Day9 just blabbers out so much meaningless fluff, about his strategy philosophy, about the art of engagements etc etc of useless filler. Day9 on the panel is just fine, but for the actual ingame casting use the other people you have please.

The B-teamers always rise up and replace the A-teamers eventually though, they would have done that regardless of whether SC2 replaced BW.
